Australia Take Control Of Women's Ashes Thanks To T20 Win
Australia took a dominant grip of the multi-format women's Ashes with a four-wicket victory in the first T20 of the series on Saturday. Beth Mooney's 61 not out steered the world T20 champions home with one ball to spare at Edgbaston chasing 154 to win. After winning the sole Test match of the series, the visitors now lead 6-0 on points with just 10 left to play for, courtesy of two points for a win in the two remaining T20 clashes and three one day internationals. Australia captain Alyssa Healy, who played despite managing two fractured fingers, won the toss and elected to field first.
